Cool pictures...bummer about the spring.
i absoulutly love your truck man, great work. and pics!
So would that be a snapped top leaf in the pack, and the truck is held up by the rest of the leaves pushing on the back end of that main one?

The spring brokefrom having no antiwrap bar "bent the sh!t out of my old one" and doing full trottle clutch drops trying to climb that wall. Need to now wash the truck replace the rear springs, build a new antiwrap bar and a heavyduty transmisson crossmember.Confedneck79K30 said:
And yes the camera man needs to learn to not get his shadow in the way.

Is that rust I see on the broken spring end? It looks like the spring has been cracked for quite some time and finally gave up.

Plan on running the stock 56"s again, but with the first 2 leaves clamped together and a good anti wrap bar. But also have been thinking of getting my friend to link the rear and run coil springs until I can afford coil overs.
